New P.S.A. Takes on the Gun Lobby by Having Adorable Kids Read N.R.A. Quotes

Michael Bloomberg’s gun violence prevention lobby, Everytown for Gun Safety, released a new video on Tuesday. In the clip, children quote lines originally delivered by National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre.

The children, whom Everytown has dubbed “Lil’ Waynes,” rattle off some of LaPierre’s most troublesome quotes, such as, “They’re out to brainwash your kids and change your life, no matter how many millions of humans end up dying in the process.”

“We know, in the world that surrounds us, there are terrorists, and home invaders and drug cartels and carjackers and knockout gamers, rapers, haters, campus killers, airport killers, shopping mall killers, road-rage killers, and killers who scheme to destroy our country with massive storms of violence against our power grids that could collapse the society that sustains us all,” another Lil’ Wayne says in the video.

The video is being released in advance of the N.R.A.’s annual meeting. Everytown and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America are heading to Nashville to, according to a press release, “represent [a] counterweight to the gun lobby.”
